hello all. i am starting this thread for anyone that wants to contribute to the 328i touring. i bought my standard 328i touring in black, with black interior and black leather.
a lot of the time i ask myself whether something from the saloon or compact etc will fit so i help this all helps. as it stands it has had the current changes are:
drilled/grooved/vented discs
k+n panel filter
poly anti roll bar bushes
poly font wishbone bushes
lowered coil overs on the front and lowered (height adjustable) on the rear.
i have acquired an m3 rear bumper to fit and will also get a new grill panel, front wings, bonnet and m3 front bumper.
also i will put a short throw shifter in with new bushes for a newer tighter feel.
when the engine dies i will put in a uprated clutch too.
i want to keep it a usable car but with better-than-stock-styling (like the sport touring) and with sensible upgrades for fun but nothing too brash like a roll cage. any contributions accepted willingly
it will be a thread that will updated by myself accordingly as i have restricted funds.
thanks for looking

I do like the Touring's but I don't think I'll ever own one. Unless its the Alpina one. I'm quite preferential to Saloons. I like the styling of them better then Coupes. That and I have two kids so four doors is a must.

thank you it has slowly developed rust on the edge and has split. not a massive amount but enough to make me want to change it. it will be the last thing to do.
with the rear bumper i will touch up the little corner parts and a bit on the arch.
the front wings/bumper/grill will be a do-all-at-once type job.

they're not as bright as daytime running lights like you get on new cars but i do find them brighter than conventional bulbs. and they are only side lights. not dipped beam or full beam bulbs. at night i should imagine they look quite good, will find out tomorrow and if i remember i'll take a pic. i got them, and will get rear tail light led bulbs and number plate bulbs, so i can have them on during the day for that little bit of extra safety without the current drain. especially as regular filament bulbs divide their current draw into 10% light energy and 90% heat energy.
i won't worry about led indicators bulbs as they won't be on all the time.

well it is with deepest regret that i bring the sad news of my car. the project has come to a grinding halt as some drunk donkey in a celica ploughed into the back of it at about 30mph. unfortunately this has cause 3 grands worth of damage and she won't be going back on the road. RIP my humble 328i.
